This seems to work:

<xsl:template match="pets/animal[species[normalize-space(.) = 'fish']]"/>

Which would be the same as:

  <xsl:template match="pets/animal[normalize-space(species) = 'fish']"/>

... which might be easier for someone maintaining the stylesheet to understand.

Of course the processor may optimize both expressions to be the same executing code, but from a maintenance perspective, keeping expressions simpler would have more benefit.

I hope this is helpful.
